The Darling Hotel, Visalia (CA) - Deals & Reviews

Rooftop bar had great mocktails and views.

The Darling offers a unique experience with its beautiful decor and spacious rooms. However, we faced issues with cleanliness and service responsiveness that need improvement. It’s a great choice for couples, but be prepared for some minor inconveniences during your stay.

The rooftop bar serves fantastic mocktails, a great way to unwind. The room layout was a bit tight and could use more space. Happy hour is definitely a highlight here.

I was greeted warmly at check-in and it felt like they really cared about making our stay special! The rooftop bar provided an incredible backdrop for a romantic evening, sipping cocktails while watching the sunset—that was the highlight of our trip.

It wasn't exactly budget-friendly, but it's still acceptable for what we got.

The gym facilities were quite nice, but the

limited television service in the room was a letdown for a hotel of this caliber. I loved the rooftop bar for its stunning views and the relaxed vibe, though the food could use a little work. Overall not a bad stay, but definitely some areas for improvement.
